Occupational light vehicle (OLV) use and associated exposures and hazards in the Australian context are described. Available insurance data indicate that the OLV injury burden, which is greater than that of other work-road users, is growing as OLV use changes incidental to workers' primary occupations and work patterns. Legislation that affects OLV users is reviewed and the shifting of the burden of responsibility for injured or killed OLV users between workers' compensation, motor accident insurance and public health systems is described. Changes to OHS regulatory frameworks are proposed to better address OLV-relevant policy and practice. These issues are relevant for many international jurisdictions.
本文描述了澳大利亚轻型作业车辆（OLV）的使用情况以及相关的暴露因素和危害。现有保险数据表明，OLV造成的伤害负担高于其他道路作业使用者，且随着OLV使用情况因工人的主要职业和工作模式的变化而改变，这一负担正在增加。本文回顾了影响OLV使用者的立法，并描述了在工人赔偿、机动车事故保险和公共卫生系统之间，OLV使用者伤亡责任负担的转移情况。建议对职业健康与安全（OHS）监管框架进行改革，以更好地应对与OLV相关的政策和实践。这些问题在许多国际司法管辖区都存在。
